2020 Yankees Season thread

[TylerD]

Backs against the wall and we're stuck starting Monty. It's not what you want. He does have the potential to throw a gem though, seems like his starts were either really good or really bad this season.

 

Sounds like when we had Porcello lol

[TylerD]

They clearly miss guys like severino and german. German is a POS though.

 

Yup definitely.

 

8 hours from now will tell the story. Can the Yanks stay alive. Time will tell

[jacksonianmarch]

Tonight is a pen game with their lefty as the bulk guy. We crush (or should) crush lefties. The Rays have the momentum and have badly outplayed us and badly outmanaged us two games in a row. If we can scrap together a win, then we can be really confident that we will make the ALCS. But Boone needs to keep Higgy catching and stop trying to be cute in managing. Handing the ball to Cole for a game 5 would be epic

The Yankees: A season on the brink.

I like that Stanton is moved up in the order today. Judge needs to step up though, he's missed too many meatballs. Even his sac fly yesterday was on a flat middle middle pitch that he should have hammered. And obviously the pitching can't give up another 8 runs. I'm hopeful that we win the next two but if not it was a sorta kinda fun season, at least it has provided a distraction.

The one year I root for the Yankees they let me down. Come on Monty

[TylerD]

I can hear yankees heart rate and smell their sweat from here. Elimination games are always so damn stressful.

As a fan, you're terrified of falling behind

Stages of frustration and desperation : Blame the manager. Every move he makes backfires . He needs to go. Blame the umps . Those incompetent umps are killing us . Robot umps now. The truth : The Rays are outplaying the Yanks , as they have all year. It is sometimes hard to face reality.

 

To be fair, Boone is a doofus.

Well , yeah. That too.

The Rays need to win tonight. If the Yankees can force a Game 5, I believe they will win the series.

 

Much to my dismay, I can't count the Yankees out.

As bad as the Sox were this year, I was and am just happy to have baseball to watch.

One nice thing about the Sox not being in the playoffs is that the playoffs are stress free. LOL

Yanks up early.

[d-money]

This pitcher for the rays looks pathetic.

[d-money]

Have to throw strikes. Maybe the rays popped the champagne last night.

[d-money]

Get this pitcher out of the game. He’s pitching scared.

[d-money]

Three straight walks. This manager is lazy. He should be out of the game.

[d-money]

2-0 Yankees. Rays better get those bats going.

[TylerD]

2-1. Lots of time left.

[d-money]

Rays offense looks cold at the moment. Not good.

[d-money]

Rays need to get that offense going.

[d-money]

Got a feeling we will see a game 5. Rays offense has been invisible tonight. Smh.

[d-money]

Game over!

[TylerD]

Game over!

 

Yup. Tampa’s bats totally shut down Jesus.

[d-money]

Yup. Tampa’s bats totally shut down Jesus.

 

Horrible no-show. Looks like they celebrated too early with the champagne last night . Too much bubbly.

Yup I figured Tampa couldn’t do it with this much pressure. Ugh. Game 5 they have no chance.

[jacksonianmarch]

Big game from Montgomery. Wow, talk about a surprise. The Yanks pen will be tired and Green is likely unavailable outside of an emergency. If we can close this out, Cole is gonna need to be nails

[jacksonianmarch]

Ballgame! Tomorrow is gonna be a dandy
